I think prismatic is great – its one of the main ways I get my news. It pulls in news from sources all over the internet based on my interests and does a great job of finding things I enjoy reading. Check out Prismatic if you haven’t tried it yet.

However, I’ve found there are a few publishers that routinely show up in my prismatic feed who tend to have less-than-high-quality articles (Mashable, Huffington Post, USA Today to name a few).

My solution was to whip up a simple Chrome extension that allows you specify publishers that you never want to see. It will then remove articles from prismatic as they come up in your feed, so you won’t ever see them.
